Default Classic sti or new age wrx

I currently own a black blob eye 2005 wrx with some tasteful mods running at 270bhp. The cars has only got 23k on it and is like new.

A friend owns a p1 and I've had uk2000's before along time ago and recently I've seen a jdm sti 4door come up for sale at a simlar price to mine version 5 full respray same colour and new engine build still needs running in etc

Just wanting people's opinions would they change as I've never driven a sti v5 or just stick with the wrx.

I've enough for a new age sti but would like some spare cash for potential repairs wear tear and still got a family to keep and a home to run.

thanks

no one can answer that really, drive both , pick which you prefer.

Newage will be heavier and slightly more refined.
Classic will be lighter but potentially show its age more, def more raw drive tho.

If I had to pick one I would go for the classic, more fun, quicker and a better driving experience.

Depends if you're after a weekend car or a daily drive and family transport.
The sti has potential to be an awesome weekend blast but may get tiresome at 7am in traffic. But if you've got a good cross country commute you may turn up every day grinning like a loon.
If I didn't have family to transport (or a family with a higher tolerance of noise and speed) I'd definitely go for the sti.
